Also, this opens you up to the world of DDR guys, which seems like a VERY rich vein.

I also had a guy at a Magic card store offer to sell me a Simpsons cabinet for ~200, but I was 2 hours away from home and nobody had a truck.

There is a guy in town who has an arcade and some game stores, and he said he would sell me Golden Axe but then refused to actually sell it to me on two different occasions.

Let me know! I am seeing it next week and realistically we won't record until at least the following.

Awesome! I'm seeing the movie next Friday, and then I have a conference the following week, but I will follow up with a couple other people and we will plan something out! :D

So I want to do a TRON roundtable to discuss the franchise and the ARES (which I'm seeing next week). Anyone interested? I loved @mattzollerseitz.bsky.social's review, and I think there is so much to discuss in terms of music, tech vs story, our digital selves, etc.

Let me know if you want to join!

I often wonder to what extent the right has tried to claim the vocabulary of that film not just because it was good and popular, but also because it is quite explicitly leftist.

Unrelated, I do still associate the original with Columbine, which I'm sure your students aren't aware of.

I wonder if history has any lessons about what happens when large concentrations of armed soldiery stop getting paid.

Ian Boudreau @ianboudreau.com · 1d

Okay so you have the National Guard deployed to several American cities and plan on sending them to more, so is the plan to actually not pay these people and just find out what happens?

Honestly, the best thing Canada could do is send Ricky and Julian instead.

Just like we schemed it up- I love it when a plan comes together.

People need to stop listening to their podcasts and instead listen to mine.

And then they went and did it again!

Good conversation. After listening to this, you may want to buy my '90s Nick book. However, you may also want my most-recent book, 99 Episodes That Defined the '90s: www.amazon.com/Episodes-Tha...

His "taste" in high culture is also just the shallowest appreciation of anything fancy-coded. He's like a more performative Frasier Crane who thinks liking the 1812 Overture makes him special.
